Mammoth Base Opera Castle

Come on, Tsuyu. You’re smarter than that!

You telling me you didn’t consider Class B using their most dangerous teammate as bait? She was alone for goodness sake! Well, looks like Shinso pulled your butts out the fire, for now.

Yes, kiddies. As predicted, it’s Class A vs Class B in a 4 v 4 (5) battles. As per shounen rules, Shinso will save the day, securing Class A’s first win then, most likely, lose against Deku. But, it’s all about the journey so it should be fun.

Let’s talk about the other match-ups!

Shinso!

Wait. Wait. Wait! Let’s back it up.
Okay, so, Deku talked to Toshinori about his dream and hand explosion. Toshinori also has no idea what “singularity” the First mentioned means. Could One For All still be mutating? Or, is it just Deku’s genes because he may be related to the First (my crack theory). Either way, put a pin in it because I doubt I’ll come up again soon.

Who are they?

The first One For All user and All For One, just who the heck are they? Is this a Gol D. Roger thing where the author didn’t draw an important character’s face because it made them mysterious and cool? Or, is there more to it?

Most of us know by now Hirokoshi loves Star Wars, so some fans have made a parallel between AFO/Deku and Darth Vader/Luke theorizing AFO is Deku’s real father. I don’t agree, but something else may be going on. Like, maybe:

The OFA/AFO brothers are Deku’s ancestors.

First Shoto, now Endeavor. Eye healing surgery in MHA world is amazing!

What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said? Endeavor’s a hero, but he still sucks as a parent. Should the Todoroki siblings forgive him (Yes. No. Yes, but don’t tell him. Hmm…)? Should Rei forgive him (Yes, to that. Only because forgiveness allows her to move on. BUT, that doesn’t mean everything’s okay and she can’t get a divorce.)? Yeesh, human nature is quite the complex mishmash, huh? Who’s to say what’s correct? Do I see them all chumming by the end of the series? SHOULD they be like that by the end of the series? There’s no easy answer. Redemption is an ongoing process—if you’re able to even start it. There’re no set of instructions. Plus it depends on what the person did, for how long, why and many, many other factors. It’s a personal process for both the guilty and the victim.

Traitor!!! No, wait…actor!!!

I overthought what Dabi would do. Instead of dropping drama bombs he just wanted to kill heroes. Oh, well. Could Dabi had taken down Mirko? Maybe, but he still had Hawks and who knows what else coming. Retreating was the smart play. But, the way Dabi escapes is most intriguing. The same teleportation quirk All For One had was used on Dabi. That can mean only one thing: The league only needs DNA to copy quirk powers. Which also means the league can cook up as many High End nomus as they want. Uh oh! So, who is Ujiko? My guess it’s the guy behind the nomu themselves, AFO’s doctor.
